This Saturday afternoon sees the Premier League's intense fight for survival take centre stage, with all three clubs currently occupying the relegation places set for crucial 3pm kick-offs.
Desperate Times at the Bottom of the Table
The spotlight falls firmly on Molineux, where Wolverhampton Wanderers are still searching for their first victory of the entire campaign. Their task is a daunting one as they welcome a West Ham United side who, despite sitting four points from safety themselves, will be determined to capitalise on Wolves' frailties. A win for either team could prove transformative in their battle to beat the drop.
Meanwhile, the situation is even more precarious for Burnley, who travel to the south coast to face Brighton & Hove Albion. The Clarets find themselves a significant six points adrift of 17th place, making every match a must-win affair. They will be hoping to exploit a Brighton team currently on a poor run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last six outings.
Football Action Beyond England
While there is no scheduled action in the English Football League today, with a full programme slated for Saturday, fans can still follow the drama from north of the border. The latest instalment of the fierce Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers got underway earlier in the day.
International football also commands attention this afternoon, as the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) moves into its knockout stages.
